Green solvent processable, solvent resistant, printed organic semiconducting films (Master's thesis, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada). Retrieved from https://prism.ucalgary.ca.http://hdl.handle.net/1880/114431This thesis explores green processable organic molecules towards semiconducting films in printed organic electronic devices. Herein, I present a study on the green processability and printability of an N-annulated PDI chromophore. Chapter one introduces key concepts in printed electronics and methods towards greener solubility of organic molecules. Chapter two introduces the N-annulated PDI chromophore and details the methods taken to solubilize PDI into green solvents and slot-die coat into films. Chapter three delves into applications of the N-annulated PDI films towards amine gas sensors. This thesis strives to highlight the innovation of printing PDI with scalable techniques and introduce further applications of these films.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
